How to Launch Data Quality Services in Your Organization

Data quality advocates trying to get a corporate data quality services program off the ground often face financial, structural, and cultural obstacles. In such circumstances a big-bang approach that tries to resolve enterprise-wide data quality issues in one fell swoop is likely to falter. Much more promising is an incremental approach that focuses first on comprehensive data profiling, then on targeting and securing initial data quality wins, and then finally on parlaying those early wins into an enterprise-wide data quality services program.

Start Data Profiling Now Not Later

There's no need to delay the first stage of a data quality services program: thoroughly profiling and evaluating your current data stocks. You can start this crucial preliminary task right away with Talend Open Studio for Data Quality, a powerful open source data quality application from Talend. Talend's open source data integration and data quality software solutions have been proven through hundreds of thousands of deployments worldwide and are known for their reliability and ease of use.

Its graphical design console and built-in connector and data quality analysis components make it easy to connect to files, databases, enterprise applications, and cloud data services and analyze your stored data.

Identify Initial Targets for Data Quality Services

With Talend Open Studio for Data Quality you can generate reports and graphics that help you identify and promote cases where data quality is lacking and where data quality services will likely deliver a strong return on investment. These can be, for example, areas where data is inconsistent or incomplete and where the data has a bearing on operational efficiency, revenue generation, or regulatory compliance.
